Like any long running show it has great seasons, good seasons and ok seasons. I don't remember the first season being great but it was interesting enough to keep me watching (a lot like Buffy was) and it does improve. They tend to do better with monster of the week shows as the focus with the season long arc being a distant second. It does have some legs on it though because it's still on the air and currently in the 9th season.

The humor is what sets it apart from other CW shows. It feels natural and is definitely from the school of the goofy and self-referential.

My personal favorite has always been the meta episodes where they step outside themselves and into a world in which they realize they're on a tv show. But they do it in a less than obvious manner that's rather clever.

That sounds like something I'd really like. Maybe I'll make this my summer catch-up show this year. Definitely LTTP!!!!

One of my favorite shows. I just wish they'd know when they were actually cancelling it. It's been twice now that they have said the show was ending, this last time the show didn't end, it instead got renewed for 2 more seasons.

But every time that happens, the show does actually get more awesome, and often way more self referential.
